In response to Kiri's comment, about the work being shared. That was the problem, Cat offered to do the powerpoint and the handout, whilst a few of us felt it should be done TOGETHER and that was mine and Emmas response. We did not suggest that we wanted to do it all, just that it was group work and therefore contributed by all members. In terms of my other post about the week leading to the presentation, the comment that me and Emma was left to sort it out overall, was that Emma had emailed everyone and posted on here, about the conclusion and the handout. Raj me and kate was the only ones to do respond to this. It was quiet hard to get in touch with everyone. So my comments were about the fact that me and Emma was left to worry about the powerpoint and the handout the day before as not everyone had responded to email or blog in the final week and i thought had a more laid back attitude, therefore i feel that my comments were justified. Everyone did their fair share in their part of the presentation, just not overall in terms of bringing it all together. The point of this blog was/is for reflection of our presentation and our last post was to reflect what we would do differently or what we have learned, so my comments were adhering to what the blog especially the last post aims were. In terms of how much effort particularly me and Emma did put in to this presentation compared to others is only highlighted by Emmas upseting rant the night before, because Cat and Kiri had not contacted her back and even more so by the amount of posts and extreme and constant blogs/discussions we posted on here show our effort at trying to bring the group together as a whole, and to involve everyone, it is not our fault if some other members were not as enthusiastic or putting in the amount of effort we thought this presentation deserved and that we were working at. As unlike my history debate this presentation was graded as a whole and not individual therefore it is fair that the work was disturbited evenly as everyone benefits from the same grade, therefore we did try to involve everyone, but this i found very difficult when people are putting less effort/unwilling to do so and wants to sort everything out over email to avoid group meetings etc. I was not saying that everyone did not take part/contribute well enough in their individual parts, but in a way were more concerned with their individual area, then bringing it all together etc/ working in a group which was the aim of the assessment! and this is something i would of changed and i feel me and a few other members have learnt from, for future presentations.

On a more positive aspect Well done to everyone, as on the day i felt that it was brought together quiet well x
